Puget Gold Apricot Tree
Description
No more mealy supermarket apricots! Home gardeners know there’s nothing like the delectable, buttery-sweet flavor of a fresh, ripe apricot, right off the tree. Attractive, elongated fruits have a tangerine-orange skin and sunny orange flesh that’s full of intense flavor. Bears 50 lbs. or more at maturity! Requires only 600 chill hours. A great pest- and disease-resistant variety that’s especially suited for the Northwest, where apricots are typically difficult to grow. Exquisite fresh-eating, or for canning and preserves. Freestone. Ripens in August. Self-pollinating.
